Kettle Cooked Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips

What is it?

Thick, kettle-cooked potato chips with an irregular shape and a hard, crunchy bite, these come seasoned with vinegar and salt in the usual salt-and-vinegar pattern. Kettle cooking gives them a denser texture than standard fried chips, so the crunch hangs on a little longer. Kroger’s version sits in the brand’s snack aisle lineup as a straightforward kettle chip, not a ridged chip or a baked one. The seasoning is applied over the surface, and the potato flavor stays in the background behind the tangy coating.
